encode xml to axml AND decode axml to xml--Hack Android Manifest easily

xml2axml

Encode xml to axml OR decode xml from axml

• encode

java -jar xml2axml e [AndroidManifest-readable-in.xml] [AndroidManifest-bin-out.xml]

• decode

java -jar xml2axml d [AndroidManifest-bin-in.xml] [AndroidManifest-readable-out.xml]

xml2axml's Issues

AndroidManifest.xml have chinese Chinese messy code

JarClassLoader: Warning: Null manifest from input stream associated with: lib/android.jar

无法正常使用啊,有没有详细的教程

[Bug]Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION

adb 安装重新签名后的apk后报错

adb: failed to install new.apk: Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION: Failed to parse /data/app/vmdl592381158.tmp/base.apk: AndroidManifest.xml]

我的使用顺序如下：
unzip -d ./old old.apk

java -jar xml2axml-1.1.0.jar d AndroidManifest.xml AndroidManifest-out.xml

修改AndroidManifest-out.xml中的一个meta-data的value
java -jar xml2axml-1.1.0.jar e AndroidManifest-out.xml AndroidManifest.xml

返回上级目录
zip -q -r new.apk ./old

重新签名
apksigner sign --ks key.jks --min-sdk-version 21 new.apk

安装new.apk后报错
我感觉重新签名的步骤也没什么问题，所以是不是有可能是处理 AndroidManifest.xml 的时候？

[Bug] java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException at decode

For some AndroidManifest.xml files decoding fails and java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown.

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 2325
        at android.content.res.StringBlock.getShort(StringBlock.java:231)
        at android.content.res.StringBlock.getString(StringBlock.java:91)

To reproduce try to decode the following binary AndroidManifest.xml files extracted from old mozilla fennec nightly build APKs.

java -jar xml2axml d AndroidManifest---2018-07-25--10-30-32.xml.txt AndroidManifest-readable.xml

AndroidManifest---2018-07-25--10-30-32.xml.txt
AndroidManifest---2018-07-26--10-03-40.xml.txt

The the first Manifest fails but the second one works.

[Bug] Empty String causes INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED

Thank you for providing this nice tool, covering many use-cases that require AndroidManifest modification.

The following procedure (simple test) should work with every APK.
However it causes a Parse Error on installation with some APKs.

(0.  try to install the original apk on android device)
(1.) extract AndroidManifest.xml: unzip my.apk AndroidManifest.xml -d ./old/
(2.) decode via java -jar xml2axml.jar d ./old/AndroidManifest.xml _readable.xml
(3.) do NOT change anything in _readable.xml
(4.) encode via java -jar xml2axml.jar e _readable.xml AndroidManifest.xml
(5.) update the AndroidManifest-File: zip my.apk AndroidManifest.xml
(6.) resign apk with jarsigner or apksigner
(7.) try to install the "new" apk on android device.

For example with APKs of the Browser Firefox-for-Android (Fennec) the last step fails.
(Parse Error : There is a problem parsing the package occurs immediately after tapping the apk-file on device to install.)

So I've done some basic research and found that empty attribute-value strings causing this problem (when using xml2axml.jar e).

It's most easy to reproduce with the first version of Fennec (apk) that has only a tiny AndroidManifest (source  ~>  mozilla-central/embedding/android/AndroidManifest.xml.in).

Commenting out the element <data android:scheme="" ></data> in _readable.xml prevents the occurrence of this error.

Hope someone could fix this problem with empty string handling at encoding.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NumberFormatException:

Hi , the .jar wouldn't run unless I put it as

java -jar xml2axml.jar e output.xml output2.xml

And then it spat out this for the Kiwi Browser AndroidManifest XML:
